Tyrion's death was the victim of a big conspiracy.
After death, his biggest dream was to be a lifelong knight with the person he loved. He looked at everything that happened to him from another perspective. It was as if he had learned about the apocalypse. Under the strange influence of death
Next, he has walked all the way to the present.
In the eyes of omniscient observers, Tyrion's experience may not be too strange. After all, in higher dimensions, there are many experiences that are ten thousand times more exciting than Tyrion's story, but this elf
It is indeed special.
He has many unique characteristics, and for the legions under his command, although they are similar to another kind of undead, that is, the natural disaster undead race in the North, the composition of the two is completely different. In terms of existence,
On the other hand, Dark Blade Legion is more reasonable than Undead Scourge and deserves more attention.
The Dark Blade Legion has an unwritten rule.
Since Tyrion, each member will never force the living to join them. Even when recruiting knights, they must evaluate the past experience of new members, rather than recruiting them at will without screening like the undead scourge. This
The process is cumbersome, but it is also necessary. Tyrion believes that he and his legion are performing a great and correct mission, so they must show their legitimacy.
There will be no pure villains or heinous sinners mixed into this loosely connected group, especially at the level of high-level knights. Every high-level knight in the Dark Blade Legion has a firm will and a sense of mission.
, all have the same thoughts as living people, a relatively complete soul, and a completely free will.
The last point is particularly important.
Although their spirits are often connected through the spiritual connection established by Tyrion, in times of war, each high-level knight can report his own news on this spiritual "network", and high-level members can use this spiritual "network" to report their own news.
The network conveys instructions to lower-level members, and even Tyrion's voice will be transmitted to the hearts of every high-level knight through this network.
It seems undefended, but among the senior leaders of Dark Blade, no one will take the initiative to pry into another person's mind... This is forbidden and unnecessary.
Because the senior leaders firmly believe that this group is not enslaved by a cruel and backward spirit, but a steel team united with a common mission and goal as its core that cannot be destroyed or disintegrated.
To be honest, this is somewhat idealistic, but facts have proven that almost ten years have passed since the war in Draenor, and this group is still as stable as a rock.
In the continuous wars, few people have free time to think about these perceptual things, but like all groups, not everyone is thinking in their hearts while moving in the same direction.
It's the same thing. Under the rock-solid surface, those undercurrents have grown, and under the conscious control of a certain will, these undercurrents have been gathered together quietly.
Are they going to betray the group?
No...
At least among the hundreds of death knights who followed El Knight and left the Black Temple on flying mounts, there were only a few who really wanted to betray the Dark Blade. The more runaways were attracted by the thinking of El Knight.
Followers of the Dark Blade Legion, they do not deny that the goal of the Dark Blade Legion is great, but they believe that the actions of the Dark Blade are not all correct. They believe that the civilizations of this world should be given more time instead of throwing them into the hopeless
Withstand the disaster and pressure.
They always believe that human civilization still has the possibility of being saved. The native civilization of this world has its own unique advantages and is qualified to survive, instead of being completely swept into the dust of history in the plan of the Dark Blade King.
.
They believe that human civilization will become great if they can survive this final battle. Just as a guy whose body was torn apart said, this is an unfair game. These runaway death knights
, I want to use my own power to make this game and the world fairer.
In other words, they are actually rare among the undead...idealists.
And their ideals are obviously derived from the same source as Dark Blade's grand plan, but they have taken a different path.
In fact, throughout history, when every large organization grows to a certain extent, divisions due to differences in ideas become inevitable. The Cenarion Council of the night elves, the ruling group formed by the ancient Eredar, and even
Within the Burning Legion, there are many different hills. It can be said that in the absence of full-coverage mental control (enslavement), division is inevitable in the future, but sooner or later.
What's more, even with mind control like the Lich King, the history of another timeline has proven that that thing is not omnipotent.
This time the ideological fission belonging to the Dark Blade Legion has nothing to do with logic. It is purely a natural phenomenon, and in the long run, this fission may not be a bad thing.
But if you think about it this way, you will find another question that goes straight to the source: As the initiator of fission, where did the unique thinking of the El Knight come from? You know, this Paladin can be different during his lifetime and after his death.
He is not a theorist or philosopher. This profound supplement to the Dark Blade Legion's world plan cannot be planned by him alone.
Who is spreading this idea that is completely different from the mainstream concept of Dark Blade?
This...maybe become a puzzle.

"Wow"
"Ouch!"
Facing the army of death knights falling from the sky, the Whispering Harbor Sky Knights who were stunned by two rounds of artillery bombardment were unable to resist. The air shock from the explosion of the artillery shells was still affecting the fragile somatosensory nerves of these living people, including those fierce and feathered griffons.
, and it was difficult to maintain one's flying posture amidst the blast of air like before.
In addition, the Dark Blade Legion has completed the change of equipment from top to bottom. Facing these flying in the air, armed with high-power shotguns, high-explosive grenades, engineering nets and even trial-type stun guns made by dwarfs, it is simply embarrassing.
Called the "high-tech" death knights who were dancing in a swarm of demons, the air defense force of Whispering Port was quickly wiped out.
Outside the tall, ignited city walls, the legions commanded by the human emperor were trying to return reinforcements, but the undead rushing out from the Dark Temple used airborne tactics to completely surround these legions from the rear of the battlefield.
Just like sandwich bread, hundreds of thousands of human soldiers who are not afraid of death are trapped in the siege of the undead. Whispering Port has lost 80% of its actual defense power. The battle between the three fleets in the outer sea, those
The ignited ships almost lit up the entire night sky red, and coupled with the recent shelling, the entire Whispering Port has been plunged into absolute chaos.
Some people were hiding in their own corners and shivering, while more people were running around blindly in the city. They didn't know where to go. The battlefield was definitely out of bounds, but the other way was the cold sea.
The terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack when Whispering Harbor was built almost became the last straw that broke the camel's back after the city's defenses were dismantled.
Faced with the death knights falling from the sky, their bodies covered with icy storms, and their faces full of murderous intent, and the undead awakened by them, any normal person would feel fear. Under the oppression of the undead, the number of people still stranded in the city
One hundred thousand civilians were like headless flies, constantly retreating towards the rear of the city.
Occasionally, some stupid young men would wave their weapons and try to rush forward under the pressure of fear, but they were quickly disarmed by the death knights, knocked unconscious and thrown back into the crowd, or simply left where they were.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in this city, and Al's power at hand is seriously insufficient. In addition, the Dark Blade King will arrive on the battlefield at any time. He is not sure in his heart how long Lord Khadgar can hold off Tyrion.
...But, if Lord Khadgar is willing to sacrifice himself for this "save", then why can't his followers give it a try?
"Don't worry about those who are alone!"
Al's voice echoed in the small spiritual connection formed among these hundreds of knights:
"Forcing humanity toward the sea! We just need to take most of them away!"
After finishing speaking, Al took out another communication stone and activated it casually:
"Aznab, how is the situation over there?"
"I'm monitoring."
A low voice with a hint of elf accent sounded in the communication stone:
"There are no traces of exposure yet, but you'd better hurry up... This place is too close to the battlefield, and someone will discover it at any time."
"Continue monitoring!"
Al Knight hung up the communication. He raised his head and looked at the chaotic city in front of him. The civilians running blindly in fear, those humans, reminded Al a lot.
At this moment, he felt the fragility and confusion of flesh and blood life. If there were a group of undead here, they would never be in such a chaotic situation, nor would they be controlled by the spreading emotions, nor would they lose their sense of self and the environment.
judgment.
Emotions are contagious. Within a city, when the emotion of fear begins to spread, human behavior becomes difficult to predict, especially when there are no reinforcements or hope in sight, they seem to have completely lost their minds.
Like wild beasts, they walked towards the path arranged by the enemy.
Under the directional oppression of the undead evoked by the death knights, the humans in the entire city are constantly retreating towards the sea behind them. Maybe their ending will be either captured by the undead or swallowed by the cold sea water, but...but
After all, this is not a killing operation. Even in Death Lord Yrel's plan, civilians will not be allowed to die in the dark sea water.
At the moment when those people who were screaming and completely overwhelmed by fear jumped into the sea, they were surprised to find that the constantly flowing sea water had been frozen by the dissipation of death energy, and in the dark night
During the period, looking out along the rapidly freezing sea, it was like a road leading to unknown fear, and now...these people who have lost everything have to walk on this road.
"Ding, ding"
The iconic horse bells of the death knights rang out on the sea. With the joint efforts of nearly a hundred high-level knights, the entire sea was frozen, and the humans who escaped death stood on the ice and frantically
Calling, soon more people joined them.
They held crying children in their arms, supported their injured companions, held in their hands dilapidated weapons that could not protect themselves at all and could only give them psychological comfort, and kept moving towards the dark front amidst the soul-destroying sound of horse bells ringing behind them.
Running, many people don't even know where they are going, but the only thing they know is that there is death chasing behind them.
The humans who were running blindly did not realize that the death knights were driving them out of the sky shrouded by the dark temple in a planned way... It was like the last safe place in the shadow of the dark night, in that darkness
The center of the sea is an area that will not be affected by the twisted space around the Dark Temple.
"Fear...it feels so ironic..."
Standing on the dock of Whispering Port, the El Knight said to himself:
"Sure enough, as Tyrion's dark wisdom said, when facing flesh and blood creatures, fear is the biggest and most useful weapon..."
As he spoke, the Death Knight looked back at the city behind him that was filled with screams. He raised his head and looked at the cold, cloud-covered night sky. He took out something protected from his arms, which was a
The box was engraved with runes he didn't recognize to cover up the smell of the contents inside the box.
He recalled the scene when he last met the Archlich and what Lord Khadgar said when he handed him the box.
Al Knight put the box on his chest and said softly:
"An adventure with no return, an idealist's sacrifice, to rely on the senses of a "prophet"... It's so ironic, I might really have gone crazy."
"Wow"
The strange box was opened. In the box, an irregular piece of crystal that emitted red light from the inside lay there quietly. The moment it came into contact with the air, the red light in the crystal rippled violently.
Turn on, like a ball of light placed on the chest of El Knight.
"Velan! If you can hear, if you can see, if you are truly a prophet who brings hope...then let me see the future we are pursuing."
